About
You’ll like Resident Evil if you want fast, tense survival action in a secret underground facility with plenty of zombies and monster threats; Not for you if you want consistently scary horror, or if you dislike dated CGI like in Land of the Dead or Ghosts of Mars.
Pros: gripping mystery setup; solid action; cool monsters | Cons: cheap jump scares; dated CGI; not scary enough
